Boveda humidity packs dangerous?

[Budzbuddha]

Are there any dangerous chemicals in boveda humidity packs and do you suggest putting 1 in mason jar when curing?

Wut ?

Nothing harmful I hope but maybe it helps prevent COVID

I wouldn't say non toxic. The company is lying about all ingredients. Check msds on them.
You need to look up the msds data on it. Company is lying about ingredients. Contains a lot of potassium nitrate. Fk if im smoking that

Absolutely Not true ….they are merely a hydro pack that pushes and pulls moisture same as Integra.
Their ONLY FUNCTION is to maintain the Rh range for “ long term “ storage. If you consume your weed within a couple of weeks of jarring then they are a waste to you ….. I do perpetuals and they keep my LONG TERM jars ( 3-6 month for example ) static.
BUT …. They only work that way if you FIRST maintain desired RH WITHOUT in jar. You must already have it Rh stable in jar for these to be of use.

As long as they aren't damaged and expelling the ingredients they are fully safe and merely act as a air moisture exchanger.

They do not take away the taste/smell but when introduced many started jarring up their harvest earlier and slightly too much moisture left in the bud can take away that which is where that whole issue seems to have started.

Use them or don't, you still need to dry till the harvest dosent release much moisture because they don't complete an incomplete dry..

I’ve been using them to cure and for long term storage for about 5 years now. They work great. Terps arent affected. No smoking chemicals. I brought back several month old super dry buds meant for making bho. It brought out the dank smells that were hidden in the uncured buds.

I was going to make a big batch of my own, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. If you search this site you’ll find a post of me sourcing the ingredients.

after a dispo I was going to started adding them to the 1/8 containers the weed sucked after that. The bud was less dry but totally sucked smoke was notably harsher to the point that I’m done with any commercial or dispo weed no joke

There not as inert as they claim imo those chemicals are ruining weed everywhere

The link I posted has OSHA at the top.

In my opinion citric acid is one of the most toxic food additives but nobody realizes it because they think it’s made from lemons

 

[Failmore]

Dangerous no. Usefull also a no imo. Every time I used them they sucked away the smell.

 

[budtoker221]

Citric acid is made from black mold and xanthan gum is made from rotten food slime like from a slimy piece of rotten broccoli,

I'm not too worried. It's been used a long time. Never heard anybody fallin out from Citric acid.

Chemistry is weird, eh?

Finally someone gets it. And why would the company not list the 2 highest content ingredients?

Yer they added moisture and the moisture caused a problem. Happens often.

 

[Jimmy Slade]

That's pretty standard in the cannabis growing world.

I don't use them. Never have and never will. I could care less what the latest craze is.

You're so cool.

 

[lusidghost]

Because those two ingredients make an expensive pack very cheap to make yourself.

I don't know about that but I must be something to you as you felt the need to reply to my insignificant post with another insignificant post.

I made a post in a thread about Boveda humidity packs stating that I don't use them in response to another post that mentioned they were the latest craze.

My post had some relevance while yours what just an insult. Does insulting people make you feel cool? If it does then lets hear some more. I want you to feel cool. I care about you.
